Blaze at Victorville home Wednesday leaves two residents displaced

VICTORVILLE — Authorities said two people were displaced after a blaze erupted at their home Wednesday afternoon.

Reports of a fire at a home in the 15600 block of Condor Road were received by San Bernardino County Fire Department personnel at 1:33 p.m. Wednesday. While no one was injured in the blaze, County Fire spokesman Eric Sherwin said the home’s residents were displaced by the incident.

Several neighbors told the Daily Press heavy black smoke filled the air when the blaze erupted. Mariana Perez, who lives in the home next door, said she first noticed something was amiss when she began to smell smoke inside her kitchen.

As Perez tried to pinpoint the cause, her daughter Jessica ran inside to tell her flames could be seen from their neighbors’ home.

“As soon as we saw the flames we got buckets of water and hoses and ran outside to try to help,” Perez said. “With the wind, we were afraid the fire might spread to our yard or further up the neighborhood.”

Firefighters made quick work of the blaze, extinguishing the flames just after 2 p.m., Sherwin said.

A young man, believed to be a visitor, was seen running out of the home when the flames first erupted. Firefighters were also seen rescuing a dog near the area. The home was occupied by two older men who weren’t home when the blaze occurred, Perez said.
